Laura Dawn - Pacific log 1: Birthday Celebrations..



Steak dinner on the plancha yesterday to celebrate Martins birthday seemed very extravagant, especially as we are down to our last 8 tomatoes already! But it was a lovely treat. Jack baked a very well received birthday chocolate cake in the breadmaker too.

We are still chasing the wind and enjoying our motor to the Marquesas, with it seems daily visits from dolphins and whales to keep our sailing spirits up. Unfortunately it looks like we will have to go further south than we thought to pick up the trade winds so have a couple more days of flat glassy seas to go. Oh! the hardship! We are making the most of pleasant conditions though as we know it will all change once wind and waves are here. Hels even made jam yesterday from some mystery fruit from the Galapagos(not something she even does at home)!

Currently we have 1.0 knot of wind from 220 degrees with a full main sail. Its not doing much but it looks nice and is keeping the cockpit nicely in the shade. The current is variable but generally with us, in the sunny and flat conditions we are making about 5 knots motor-sailing.

Soon to be sailing again..
